MJF capacity increased by 50%, Another SLS machine and Improved Delivery
We are excited to announce that 3DPRINTUK is continuing on its growth trajectory into 2023. We closed out 2022 with news of our ISO 9001 accreditation — a major milestone for the company. As 2023 gets underway, however, we are continuing a pattern of year-on-year growth and expansion according to our planned internal investment strategy.
For January, this expansion has kicked off with adding new machines to the 3D printer portfolio to increase capacity and manage lead times for our clients. This month alone we have added a third HP MultiJet Fusion (MJF) machine to increase capacity with this technology by 50% AND we have also invested in a further EOS Formiga Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) machine, which brings the total EOS SLS machine count at our London facility to 13.
Since we first launched as a 3D printing service in 2011 with a single EOS machine, we have gone from strength to strength by sticking to our core strengths and developing unprecedented expertise with polymer PBF processes. Today 3DPRINTUK offers extensive manufacturing capability and capacity to support a wide range of key applications across many industrial sectors as a low volume production partner. In this way, we provide our clients with real cost and time efficiencies compared with more traditional manufacturing methods for low volume batch production. As one of our core competencies, 3DPRINTUK is able to offer a reliable and flexible manufacturing service that bridges the huge gap that exists between prototyping and injection moulding in a highly efficient way, overcoming the limitations that alternative processes such as CNC machining and vacuum casting present.
Our Managing Director, Nick Allen, said:
“It really is so gratifying that 3DPRINTUK continues to grow organically year on year. We have huge expansion plans for 2023 – these new machines are just the beginning, and are a testament to the dedication of the entire 3DPRINTUK team and the commitment of our customers with existing and new applications. There is much more to come in the near future, including new technologies, new finishes and new materials — so watch this space!”
